Factory recall

[dudeextrem]

Hello everyone I know this I see an old thread but it's the only thing I can find on the internet about my issue and I'm hoping someone out there can help. I own a 2007 Mahindra 2815hst with 700ish hours. I've recently noticed an oil drip underneath and through investigation I believe I have it narrowed down to an oil pan gasket. My main issue to address here is the loader bolt issue, my tractor doesn't have the factory recall stiffness as you guys were talking about and I've tried several dealers in myarea trying to describe them with no luck finding them. Couple questions:

Does anyone know any part numbers/recall numbers that may be useful in tracking these things down?

Does anyone know if they are still available to get nowadays?

Thanks

15902069 is the part number for the kit, it may also be listed as KMW15902069. Last time we checked, several years ago, we were first told that the part number did not exist. Then with a little prompting, the parts department did some digging and came up with a kit for us, but it wasn't a click and deliver sort of thing. It took some dealer effort. I don't recall the price, but it was well north of $500 for the kit. Have your dealer try to source one for you.

Alternatively, you might ask someone to take some pictures of a loader that has the kit installed, then have something similar fabricated.

Thanks so much for the help. Armed with these numbers I'll try my local dealer and see what they can come up with. Was this recall specific to a specific year of tractor and also since it was a recall shouldn't mahindra eat the cost of the parts, I could understand if it was a warranty thing being expired but with recalls on my truck it doesn't matter how far out of warranty it is a recall is covered by GMC and I take it into a dealership. I don't expect a service tech to come to my house to install like you guys were saying earlier in the thread but would be tickled pink for the parts.

The recall was closed out years ago. Selling dealers were all given a list of tractors that they sold that needed the recall done. Travel to the customer and/or hauling the tractor was not covered, as such, many customers did not want to haul it themselves or pay to have the tractor hauled, so some tractors never got fixed. Also, some dealers were not diligent regarding getting these all done. They should have worked hard to get the list accomplished, yet it paid very little for labor and there is always customer pushback regarding hauling or field service charges. It wasn't always the dealer that dropped the ball, sometimes it was the customer. Mahindra eventually put an end date on the recall.

Having said that, approaching Mahindra about providing the parts only and you do the labor seems like a reasonable thing to ask for. But I think they are probably on solid ground if they refuse. Are you the original owner? Is your selling dealer still around? If you are the original owner and were never notified, talk to your dealer.

It was model specific, not year specific.

Ok thanks I'll give contacting mahindra a shot, I'm not the original owner but purchased it from the original owner years ago, does anyone know a good way of contacting mahindra through email, phone or otherwise?
